about me

i'm one of those leftist liberals you've been warned about and genuinely want to expand the welfare state. i'm obsessed with politics, with a focus on civil rights (race, gender, disability, etc). i love charts and graphs and data. i also love street art and graffiti. i'm far too lazy for proper capitalization and i don't care.

stuff i read a lot

fivethirtyeight, by my statistics boyfriend nate silver
LAist, things around town

this world is disgusting

i’m sitting in court waiting for my case to be called. The opposing party hasn’t shown up yet, which is nice because he looks exactly like stringer bell and frankly scares the shit out of me. I’m passing the time by listening to a 16 year old girl who looks 13 prepare for her restraining order hearing that involves custody orders for her child. She’s considering whether to share the information about her boyfriend’s drug trade (he is also 16 and looks… 16) or whether the time he put the muzzle of his gun in her vagina will be sufficient to support the restraining order.
